Ezra Part 1: Awakening (Ezra 1:1-11)

Have you ever had your heart moved? Have you had a passion, a dream, or a vision for the future? The Spirit of God works in our hearts and stirs up these things. Before we were even born God had a plan and a calling for us, and He still does. Through good and bad, nations rising and falling, and everything in between, God is working out His goodness and mercy for His people. God is drawing us together, and is working through us to build His house. We are called, not just to gather, but to gather to God's presence and purpose, to respond to His sovereign plan.
